Virginia Wedding Venue Review: Celebrations at the Reservoir – Best to Place to Get Married in VA

June 17, 2018

I can’t say enough about how wonderful my wedding was at Celebrations at the Reservoir. After our wedding in 2016, 3 of our friends got married at Celebrations!
Venue is gorgeous, staffs are so friendly and professional especially our wedding planner Christina and food coordinator Toby.
From planning to the wedding day, they really helped us to be prepared and make the best choice. I can not thank them enough!
When you book your wedding at Celebrations, you are not just renting the space. Christina helped us planning the wedding, rehearsal (the day before wedding) and coordinates the wedding from morning to night. Her professional & friendly support made me 100% comfortable on my wedding day. All the staff really made the best night of our life!

Celebrations have multiple ceremony and reception sites. Our ceremony site was “the landing” which was right by our reception place “Pool Pavilion”. Wedding Ceremony – The Landing: “A 2000 square-foot wharf and pier built entirely over the lake. Large enough for all of your guests to capture the bride’s entrance down the grand stairway and view the ceremony with the panoramic backdrop of the mile-wide lake. Photography, cocktails, dancing and the newlyweds’ departure by boat are popular at this site before the wedding party rejoins the guests at one of our reception sites.”

For our ceremony at “the Landing”, I designed the flower arch and our florist did a beautiful job. This was a splurge for us but this absolutely made our wedding photos! This is a peaceful & beautiful ceremony site.

Reception – Pool Pavilion: “An elegant waterfront hospitality and entertainment facility designed and equipped to provide a truly unforgettable experience for 100–200 of the most discerning guests.”

Pool Pavilion was the main reason why we chose Celebrations. We absolutely loved the inside and outside of the Pool Pavilion. Guests can enjoy the outside tables around the pool and also hang out at the little trail by the lake. Absolutely the best reception place at the Celebrations.

I think choosing a beautiful venue is very (or most) important. Even if it costs more to rent to space, if the venue already looks good it can cut down budget for flower & decorations(much more effective than decorations!). For our wedding, the pool pavilion already had such an interesting factors like the pool, bar table, lights around the pool, 2nd floor, stairs and nice table & chairs so we did not need much decorations. Guests truly enjoyed the night at the Pool Pavilion.
